[General Questions and Answers] Codazzle:
Hi Forum,

This is my first post so forgive me if this is in the wrong place

My phone is roughly a year old, and today I ran into a weird and potentially phone killing problem

I received a few phone calls from my girlfriend today, the ringer rang loud and clear, but I heard no sound from my ear piece. After a few "Hello?"s, I hung up thinking it was a bad connection. Upon seeing my girlfriend afterwards, she said she heard me on my end. So I got her to call me again and I tried to use speaker phone, and I could hear her fine.

Doing some research on google, I only ran across one other person who had this problem, and upon seeing this, I tested my music player, (as theirs didn't work), and mine doesn't work either

This other person said the problem resolved itself a day later.

In short, my ear piece has no sound during a phone call and my media sound doesn't work (though it works w/ headphones.) My notification sounds and speaker phone DO work

Do the notification and speaker phone speakers come from a different place than media and ear piece speakers?

Do I have a software issue?

Should I wait like the other person?

Any suggestions?

Thanks forum!

can anybody tell me if i s-off my device, install CWR, then change the CID to the arabic CID which is HTC__J15

If the screen turns on at all, you're not bricked.

No need for a jig - I think only the Captivate (Maybe I9000 too) had a bug that prevented you from getting into download mode with VolUp + VolDn + USB insertion

With the Infuse and I777, I have NEVER needed a jig to enter download mode. My pack of MicroUSB plugs from Sparkfun is still sitting unopened.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Looks like it tried to enter battery charging mode.

This has always worked for me:

Remove and reinsert battery

DO NOT HIT POWER

Plug USB cable into PC (if not already plugged in)

Hold VolUp + VolDn

Plug USB cable into phone while still holding those two buttons (Not power!)

Possibly try a different cable, as it might help. Also, if you can, charge the battery (not sure if that would be an issue)

Sent from my i777 high in the sky
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
It is more or less unbrickable as long as you READ fully before flashing random things to your phone. I've gone through the process with three different phones, and all have turned out well.

The guides in the general section aren't stickies because they're just there, they're meant to be read and followed...and if you don't get it, AK questions (you can look, I've asked a bunch of stupid questions in the beginning haha)

Remember: read twice, flash once. Problems? None.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
SOC doesn't work on kk6. I can only assume he is trying to use the one click +root Odin package. Still, it shouldn't have failed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Is it your definition of unbrickable? LOL :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
No it's not, but having people flash stuff they don't understand is really frustrating. What's worse is when they make a OMFG I'M BRICKED post here, without seeing the 100 other threads, and ignoring the directions in all of them.

Other than flashing grossly inappropriate bootloaders, you can recover from any software issue. Then again, Odin isn't a toy, and many people are treating it like one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup. Don't flash PITs, don't flash bootloaders (there are warnings against this anywhere in the I777 forums you might find a bootloader or PIT file), don't flash stuff intended for another phone unless given specific instructions that it's OK (such as if you follow the Hellraiser instructions), and you'll be fine.

ok i tried using another cable, but sine the fail last time i seem to just get the following message and can't go back into dowlnload mode

This is kind of out of left field, but have you tried using different USB ports on your PC?

I vaguely recall reading somewhere on these forums that some USB ports not mounted on the PC's motherboard sometimes don't play nice when talking to some devices...maybe it was just for Macs or something - not sure - but might be worth a shot if you haven't tried already...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Need more info to troubleshoot the problem. The first thing you did was try to root using the galaxys2root.com rooting method for the I777 for Windows?

You flashed the zedomax root kernel using Odin3 v1.85 included in the download. The "SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel.tar" from the download in those instructions contains only the zImage, which is the kernel image. Can you please verify that this specific tar is what you flashed, and confirm that the flash was successful but that the phone would then not boot past the initial boot screen.

Incidentally, many have used the zedomax I777 root kernel to root succesfully. So we need to eliminate other possibilities. Are you sure you used the instructions for rooting the I777? There are instructions on that site for International version, T-Mobile version and Sprint version as well. And your phone is an AT&T I777?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Fluffster:
I had this same problem before. It happened to me when I was "cautious about plugging it in" So here is what you need to do.

Re-download the program to make sure you dont have a bad program

Unplug your phone from your computer

remove battery

reboot your computer

Make sure you are NOT Running any antivirus software

Run the restore program

Put the battery back in your phone DO NOT TURN IT ON

while holding vol+ and vol- plug in your phone to your computer via usb

once you get com wait 10 seconds

Click it to go

If you have done all that then someone else will need to help. I think my problem was that I got nervous the first time had my phone in download mode unplugged it and plugged it back in to make sure I had COM and that caused it to have issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Your in the wrong forum, this is for the I777 not the Infuse, but you are not bricked. Just pull the battery, enter download mode like you normally would and flash with odin.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosolo:
So my Atrix is not charging at all, regardless of whether it's connected to the computer via usb or to a wall outlet via the motorola charger. It's currently at around 20% battery so it will still boot and stuff.

Here's where it gets interesting: After it's powered down, if I connect it to either the wall or usb, the green light comes on for 2 seconds and the it boots up. After it turns on, the light goes off and it no longer recognizes that it should be charging. If I take the battery out and connect the phone to a power source, the green light comes on and stays on. I'm running gingerblur RC1 if it matters.

Has anyone run into this before?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafapple:
Same problem. Atrix won't charge

Same problem here as well. Atrix won't charge.

I left it on the charger overnight and I woke up to a 97% charge, which is weird cause it usually goes to 100 way before I wake up.

I unplugged the charger, and plugged it back in, but the phone isn't charging.

I'm going for a factory reset, to see if it helps. I'm using Neutrino ROM for atrix.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 AM ----------

Hey, I actually decided to go for a "Wipe battery stats" under "Advanced" on clockworkmod recovery. I had a 95% charge when I shut it down, wiped battery stats, and the phone booted with 93% battery. I plugged it into the charger, and now it's charging again.

Will let you know in case it doesn't go to 100%. It's interesting to note that this issue happened after I let my atrix go below 10% battery for the first time. I'm not sure if it's related. Weird issue..

It works well and I suggest using Button Savior in conjunction. Barely seen my taskbar in a week
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] speedrabbit:
Works pretty well, main problems I have with it are accidentally re-enabling the taskbar in games (tapping near the bottom), and also accidentally hiding it when trying to hit the 'menu' button in portrait mode. They're too close together so it's hard to avoid hitting it.

I asked the author about the possibility of other trigger locations, or gestures, and he responded but didn't sound like he planned to do anything soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sigilist:
I installed HB myself, and although it is nice in some ways to get the taskbar (I use that reference with tongue'in'cheeck) out of the way, there are too many apps I have that place "menu" in the location of the hidden button even when I set it to shift left. Many apps I have to rotate to landscape to get to the apps settings menu hidden behind the shift-left positioning for HB. It's just not a sound UI choice.

The option to just leave the taskbar hidden and use Button Savior is better, but it's like using one hack to make another one work halfway correctly in its effects. HB needs more development and it doesn't look like it's going to happen as of now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] KChauJen:
Thanks very much for your info. Yeah... this Button Savior is a real true name in case of the HoneyBar's gone somewhere.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] speedrabbit:
Problem I see with using Button Savior all the time is that you do lose the notifications.. and then it's still easy to accidentally bring back the real bar when playing games etc. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] KChauJen:
I don't know about the games... the notification is hiding except the sound but the real trouble is when the call is coming.... you have to activate the task bar to bring back the panel "Answer or Denied" (!!!)

FYI
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] koreanschoolkid:
I did indeed get quite angry at the loss of notifications but I was able to (sort of) get around that by changing the screen density to 171 using Blade Buddy. This set me back to a 2.x launcher.

It doesn't really work 100% however as browser, Gmail, Google Talk will constantly crash. I was able to work around the browser by just getting another browser and Gmail by uninstalling the Honeycomb version of Gmail and installing the Gingerbread version. I didn't care enough to do anything more than uninstall Google Talk.

On the positive side I no longer have to deal with the taskbar. Ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] speedrabbit:
Does the Gingerbread version have the Gingerbread UI? i.e. without the multi-paned stuff? I tried loading a Gingerbread version a while back but it didn't work (just crashed). I prefer Gingerbread style -- more room for the content rather than lists of labels.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Gam3r 4 Life:
Yes this is exactly my only issue with honeybar. it would be nice if we could choose the right side as the "offset". Even in portrait I have space just to the right of center that would allow access to honeybar on/off and not interfere with the menu on a lot of apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] smaug408:
There's a much better way to do this. Using tasker, I have a profile set up that auto hides the toolbar for certain apps and then restores it automatically when I switch away from them.

Follow the instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301857
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Yes but how do you switch away from them?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
That is actually what I am trying to figure out how to do. I am trying to set it up when in specific apps it takes away the task bar but also only within these apps after something... (haven't really figured that out yet) happens it will bring it back for an exit. In a perfect world I would love to be able to press both volume buttons to close an app. Which in this case would be perfect but tasker can't do that...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] smaug408:
I'm using task switcher pro. It lets you map a gesture to the back button or home button.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
what might be cool is to "shake" device to bring back the bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] edan1979:
you guy also can use AutomateIt... kind of like tasker but to me it more friendly user...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123423

and the pro version is cheaper too... :P
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
Using tasker I did manage to make the bar go away by shaking. Instead of setting programs to do it make it toggle the bar by using a shake. I don't have it in front of me to do step by step but if someone wants me to I can put it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gucabe:
I would most certainly love to see that "How too" Zadeis.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
Here you go!

OK the link smaug408 put up leads to a guide on how to set up a task that when an App starts it will remove the bar at the bottom. The thing is though you no longer have a back button and get out of the app unless it has a dedicated exit button.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301857

I take no credit for the premade files for tasker. The thanks goes to the creator Quietthinker through that link.

-First Open the link and download the attached StatusBarToggle.zip and place the files into /sdcard/Tasker/tasks (in this case you will only need the StatusBarToggle.tsk.xml, the StatusBar_Hide.tsk.xml, and the StatusBar_Show.tsk.xml files)

-Second open tasker and go to the "tasks tab" and tap and hold the Tasks Tab at the top. An options window will come up but select Import and import all of them into tasker

-Third go to the profiles tab and tap the Green plus at the left and give it a name. ShakeToToggle can work but you can name it whatever you like.

A context window will popup and you will select Event and then the Sensor Category and finally select the Shake Event.

You can mess around with the setting for the shake gesture now or tweak it in to your liking after everything is set up up to you.

-Forth once you have the setting you like press the green check mark, select the StatusBarToggle task and you are done. Now when you shake your tablet side to side it will make the status bar go away.

Now I just happened to figure out that you can shake instead of using an app for the context. I take little credit for how this works.

This method requires Super User Permissions. It will ask on the first toggle of the bar if you allow it to remember it afterward, if not it will ask each time.

[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
I know this has probably been posted a ton of times but has anyone actually & successfully exchange there "defected" Rezound with the "pink" buttons for a Rezound that actually had red buttons? This problem has been a nightmare for me, VZW thinks I'm crazy.

For a lot of people the "pinkish" capacitive buttons doesn't bother them, but for me it's a big issue. I'm paying a lot of money for this phone and also agreeing to another 2 year contract, I want my phone to be perfect. My Rezound is perfect besides the bright pink buttons, I just feel like I was sold an unfinished/rushed device. I can post pictures of my phone if needed, I wouldn't care if they where a little pink but there not even red at all which is hilarious. I already returned my Nexus back for the Rezound thinking that I wasn't going to have any problems with this phone. I'm not trying to be picky or fuss over something small but If this is going to be my phone for the next 2 years why not make sure it's the right one?

I went into the VZW corp store today and they pretty much said "that's how the phone looks" and that "everyone views "red" differently". Of course the model they had on displayed looked pink so trying to convince them was pretty hard and not like they would believe me or care anyways. I said well couldn't you just open a few Rezounds in the back and see if you have the same issue with those. She tried telling me that you have to activate the phone to get the lights to turn on, LOL. They where extremely rude and just not willing to help. She told me that an associate had a Rezound that works in the back and of course that phone was "perfect" too but she wouldn't bring it out, I have no clue if she even checked any other Rezounds back there? What can I do to get the Rezound I should have received in the first place. I was thinking about calling VZW today and talking to a CSR instead of going into a store? Can anyone who has maybe been through this explain to me how to go about this?

This is what I want (check the pics): http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Verizon-Galaxy-Nexus-vs-HTC-Rezound_id2938

There is a thread where two memebers found a "do it yourself" solution. If you search the forums you should find it. 1st solution was he took out the old white led's and then soldered the red leds in. People have sent their devices to him to do so, and good results have been obtained. 2nd solution is to open it and get a red perm marker, or thin red paint and paint/mark over the leds. Both are confirmed to work and will give you "red" capacative keys.
